Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be Garek, a "simple" tailor? Or Anubis, always scheming to further the agenda of the Gou'ald System Lords? Just want to kick some Dominion butt with the Starfleet Marines? Or perhaps hang out in a cantina sipping a Vasarian Brandy? If this is the case, then the USS Richthofen is for you! The USS Richthofen is "Something Completely Different" in Science Fiction Fandom. This site contains information on the group and more. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a part of a group where people understand that a telephone booth isn't just for making a phone call?

The USS Richthofen is something completely different in Science Fiction Fandom. I'm sure you've heard this all before, and on a zillion web sites. But, we are the "slightly insane" Science Fiction Club. Certifiable, really. We even have a little padded rubber room aboard for those nice "mini vacations" that our crew needs from time to time. We don't take science fiction seriously, and believe in having a great time. Science Fiction is our common theme, not our entire lives. There is a world out there, and we participate in it... often times actually helping others, or just being a general annoyance.

The USS RICHTHOFEN has become more then just an internet correspondence chapter over the years. Recently the Chapter has decided to change their designation to "Meeting" which means that we will be having even more fun hanging out in person. We are an official Starfleet International Chapter for Western Maryland. However, the RICHTHOFEN does welcome "Squadrons" who aren't local to Maryland. These Squadrons do offline events such as Star Trek Meet-up, camping trips, ghost hunting, conventions, and hot tub parties. It is our hope that these squadrons eventually form into their own Chapters. A list of active squadrons can be found here.
